St Luke's C of E (Evangelical) Church, Blakenhall, Wolverhampton. The church was built during 1860 and 1861 by G T Robinson of Leamington. Pevsner said: "[Robinson] could evidently be what Goodhart-Rendel called a rogue architect. The church is furiously unruly. Red brick with yellow and black brick, SW steeple with a highly fanciful spire. Windows with plate tracery. But the clerestory windows are spherical triangles filled with roundels. Polygonal chancel. Inside, the piers are of iron, thin and doubled - longtitudinally, not transversely. Who in the name of reason would do that?" Grade II* listed. http://www.localhistory.scit.wlv.ac.uk/listed/stlukesch.htm
